Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder that checking in with the people around us can make a real difference.

Life gets busy and sometimes the answer to "How are you?" isn't "good". It's okay to ask for help, it's okay to set boundaries, and it's okay to say no when you need to look after your wellbeing.

A conversation could change a life. Take a moment to check in with someone and ask the question: R U OK? 💛

Our Forrestfield campus was buzzing this week! 👏

It was fantastic to welcome painting industry professionals for an epoxy floor coatings workshop, with plenty of practical demonstrations, product knowledge and great conversations throughout the day.

Thanks to Noroo Paint and Synergy Building Supplies for sharing their expertise, and to Master Painters & Decorators Australia for supporting industry learning and development.

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of joining Civmec at their Henderson facility, showcasing the impact apprentices are making as they build skills and careers in the trades. The visit included Hon Andrew Giles MP, Federal Minister for Skills and Training, and Hon Josh Wilson MP, Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy and Member for Fremantle.

During the site walkthrough, our Skill Hire apprentices had the opportunity to share their experiences, answer questions, and talk about their career journeys with the Ministers and Civmec Board members.

We're proud to support the next generation of skilled workers and to partner with employers like Civmec to create meaningful apprenticeship opportunities across WA.
